10 bloodiest children's bed time stories

bloody hell

The list and the synopsis of the 'actual' bed time stories we were not actually told stoked an imagination I hadn't shaken up in a while. Dark, bloody and foreboding tales/fables. Amazing Disney created and entire empire out of americanizing the stories and turning them into cream-puff feel good movies.

The consideration to illustrate the stories in the truer form is something that should be done! I like the thought of Tim Burton redoing Hansel and Gretel, but not the Alice in Wonderland Disney style.

Hansel and Gretel write up suggested author/illustrator, Anthony Browne. I came across this gem Little Beauty while searching. Illustrations for Hansel and Gretel look awesome so I just bought 3 of his books. Definitely looking forward to stewing on these books when they arrive.

Viz Feedz

I've been exploring the world of visual aggregates and thought I would post a few that I have found in hopes of getting responses back to expand my gReader subscription feeds. A visual aggregate is basically a site that monitors other sites grabs their images and puts it in an easy to consume format. Most offer little to no explanations about the image but the lack of clutter keeps the randomness of the images legible. These shotgun blasts of information are great for inspiration and for motivation to complete projects. Below are a few links to some of the most interesting that I have found. Please post your favorites as well.

The Sketchbook Project

'It's like a concert tour but with sketchbook's" says the website tag line. Thanks to JKyle for sending this my way! What a cool idea for a tour. You can select a theme and the tour swings through Brooklyn, Atlanta, San Fran, Austin, Portland and Chicago. Books are cheap, you can get it scanned and lots of people can see your work and you can see theirs. You have to use their Blue/Red moleskine book but other than that it's pretty open ended as long as you do something in the book ...

Legos for grownups

I think it would be interesting if people could design and build entire houses as easy as it is to make a custom set of legos.
